Bali

For our first year wedding anniversary, my wife and I went to Bali, Indonesia, the Boracay of the Philippines. Hehehe.

It was the first time I spent my vacation in a five-star hotel mainly because when we go on trips, we usually are in budget mode. I must say, we got our money's worth. We stayed in Aston Bali for 3 days and 3 nights. The resort was amazing. You can see the details they have put into it to make the ambiance very relaxing. Indeed we were relaxed. We had a complimentary massage which I enjoyed but my wife didn't. She said the Indonesian girl was too nice she doesn't want my wife to get hurt so it turned out that her rubbing was too soft. My wife likes it rough. In terms of massage. Hehehe.

Unfortunately it was just a vacation so after that, we have to go back to the real world and here I am blogging about it, my mind still wandering in the beachfront of Aston Bali. Well, 2 months to go and we'll be going home to the Philippines and it's something I am looking forward to.

Happy 1st Year Anniversary

Happy 1st year anniversary Mah Love! This is supposed to be 365 blogs for the first 365 days that we're together but unfortunately, i just couldn't make it. Actually I only managed to create 17 including this one. It's just so hard to get rid of you so I can blog about you.

I would like to thank you for everything. The past year was certainly the best year I have ever had and it just keeps getting better. We may be struggling financially at the moment but I believe the "future" is near. I know you feel so sad at times but I promise you things will get better. Hopefully the coins are already credited to my ATM so you can take a cab tomorrow morning.

For the record, love kita ako di mo ko love! Joke! I love you so much. I know you love me too. That's all that matters. Hope we never forget that. We have a long journey ahead of us. It's just getting started. Till death do us part. -igo

Mah Super Wife

Blogging with a broken hand is not really fun. I feel pain every time i press a key with any of the fingers of my left hand. 5 days ago i suffered a sprained left wrist after i fell on my left hand trying to block my opponent's shot. Yes i injured myself playing basketball and my wife was furious about it. I know she was mad because she's concerned with me and i appreciate everything that she's been doing for the past few days that i am sort of disabled. It's funny because now that i am not capable of doing any chores, things at our rented master's bedroom started falling apart. The pipes under the sink in our toilet started leaking. The legs of our queen size bed broke. Don't ask how. Etc, etc. Mah super wife of course fixed all these while taking care of me. What more can i ask for right? A baby? Yes. In God's time, I'm hoping for a healthy baby in the future. I mentioned this because she has recently stopped taking pills. Unintentionally. Hehehe. I forgot to give her her pill. Anyway, it's past 6p now and wife is waiting for me at home. I better go ahead as i have more or less an hour's journey. Looking forward to that delicious dinner she has prepared for me. Fried pork and vegetables. Yummy. Now I'm getting hungry.

It's been more than two months since my last post. Not only because I forgot my password, I've been very busy with work. Is work worth it? Not at all. It's okay to suck at work. But it's not okay to suck as a husband.

Last night, me and my wife had our worst fight. I wouldn't go into details as they're too personal. All I want to say is that I'm really sorry. Somehow I've managed to depreciate my sorry to worthless apologies. It's sad things like this had to happen. But it's my fault and there's no one else to blame. Like blaming others is good right? Anyway, I hope we grow out of this experience. Like she said, both parties should grow in the relationship cause if only one is, then that's not healthy.

Now I feel a little better. Writing your feelings seem to work. Still sorry for what I've done but no more self pity. What I have to do is learn from my mistakes and move on. I'll figure things out as I go my way. Hope it's not too late. I have to work now. It's almost 10a and I haven't started yet. I love you Mah Love.

December

December is the happiest month for me as it is the time of Christmas, the day our Lord Jesus Christ was born. But before we get into the holiday spirit, I want to share with you what happened last week. It was my birthday and my wife threw a party for me together with our friends. It was the best birthday party I have ever had so far. Not because I can't remember when I last had a birthday party but because every year just keeps getting better. I guess the main secret to a really happy birthday is what my wife's real intention was, to share our blessings. And boy I shared my greatest blessing to our friends by sharing my wife's home cooked dishes. All are just superb in taste and presentation. Now I'm getting hungry. 30 minutes more before lunch time and I'm already starving. Got to hold on to the Carbonara we had for breakfast which was from my birthday party. It still tasted good. Anyway, there's a lot of stuff going on lately with my wife with regards to her work, friends and family. I just want her to know that when everyone seems to be angry at you, there's always someone you can go to, God. Not me. I also get mad at you. Hehe. But only when there's a valid reason. And I know we wouldn't carry it to sleep. So I'll see you later.

SL=MC

My wife and I have this funny attitude. We apply for sick leave when we're not sick so we can go out, and when we're really sick we go to work. We always apply together because we felt our sick leave was wasted if we're not together. My co-workers find it weird because they don't do that.

Another funny thing about MCs (Medical Certificate), that's their term for sick leaves (e.g. I'm on MC), we always consume it at the start or at the end of the week. I think I can generalize on this but we Filipinos really love long weekends.

I talk about MCs today because my wife is sick and she went to work. My poor wife, she always get sick with all the stress at work. But she doesn't have to worry as I'm sure God will make her well soon and I will always be there to take care of her.

Oops. What am I still doing here in the office? Got to go now to take care of my wife. I shall return.

iPhone Addiction

Although I'm in the IT industry, I was never a techy guy. I'm not into gadgets as I'm supposed to be. But the 3GS iPhone from Apple is changing all that. Not because it is very cool and fast, but because of the role it played between my wife and I.

Getting the 3GS iPhone here in SG the first day it is available is so challenging. We have to reserve online to make sure that we get one. But that's the easy part. The harder part is the collection. We went to collect the phone on the first night it was available but to our surprise, a very long queue was waiting for us. We went to the end of the line only to find out that it will take us 6 hours before we can get the phone. We've decided to go home and come back early the next day and we did. The line seemed shorter now but it's still very long. It took us three hours before my wife is actually holding her new phone.

Now, although I'm having less sleep because of the iPhone, downloading and playing free applications, it's okay as long as I'm doing it with my wife.
